Capítulo 1754: Chapter 1754: Spare , Your Highness
The county magistrate’s face changed dramatically upon seeing him. He had just unlocked his acupoints and was still in imnse pain. Without a second thought, he fell to his knees with a plop, kowtowing and repeatedly saying, “Spare , Prince, spare . I didn’t know you were visiting and offended you. I beg for your rcy.”
“Considering the horse bandits haven’t been eliminated yet, I will temporarily spare you. I hope you seize the opportunity and show what you can do.”
Sweat dripped from his forehead, falling from the tip of his nose to the ground. The county magistrate dared not wipe it off, and trembling on the ground, he asked, “What does the Prince wish for to do?”
“Capture all the horse bandits in town and return a peaceful ho to the people of Hu’s Bay.”
The county magistrate was troubled; the leader of the horse bandits was his sworn brother. What was he to do? For a mont, he didn’t know how to respond: “This…!”
Long Rui raised an eyebrow: “What’s wrong? Can’t do it?”
The man before him was the renowned War Prince, and the county magistrate dared not refuse, so he quickly said, “Yes, yes, I will follow your orders.”
At this mont, the governnt officials who had been injured by Long Rui all got up from the ground. They all knew the man before them was the famous War Prince and promptly knelt to greet him.
Long Rui said in a deep voice, “I am traveling incognito on this visit, and none of you are to divulge my whereabouts, understood?”
“Yes.”
The governnt officials and the county magistrate replied together.
Long Rui glanced at the trembling county magistrate on the ground, frowned slightly, and impatiently said, “Alright, alright, get up quickly! I have more instructions for you.”
The county magistrate stood up tremblingly. He was still in pain from the acupoints being pressed by the Prince. Initially, he was very angry, but upon learning that he was actually the famous War Prince, he felt incredibly fortunate. It’s said that the War Prince is decisive and rciless to his enemies. Being able to escape after offending soone as godlike as him is indeed very lucky.
“What are the Prince’s instructions?”
Long Rui glanced at the governnt officials and thought, not knowing if any of them were spies for the horse bandits, so he said to the county magistrate, “Dismiss them. I have sothing to discuss with you alone.”
Afterwards, the three of them stayed in the house for a secret discussion, and no one knew what they talked about.
The next day, the villagers of Hu’s Bay heard that the county magistrate was going to attack the mountain stronghold.
The atmosphere among the people imdiately beca lively. After hoping for so long, the county magistrate finally summoned the courage to combat the horse bandits again.
But they were also worried, fearing it might beco like last ti, where the horse bandits were not captured, and the county magistrate nearly lost his life.
However, they later heard that several esteed guests passing through would accompany the county magistrate to attack the mountain stronghold. This news greatly boosted their morale, and the entire population of Hu’s Bay was excited, feeling hopeful about eliminating the horse bandits this ti.
Eagle Beak Cliff.
Eagle Beak Cliff, as the na suggests, the entire mountain peak is as sharp as an eagle’s beak. The sheer cliffs rise abruptly, reaching the sky, presenting a daunting sight. Viewed from afar, the cliffs are so high and steep, as if carved by a gigantic axe. Approaching it, the cliffs are shrouded in mist, resembling an eagle’s beak standing amidst the sea of clouds, invoking a sense of awe.
Midway up Eagle Beak Cliff, there are many houses where hundreds of horse bandits reside.
At the foot of the mountain, there are also a few thatched huts, occupied by a married couple who sell tea to passing travelers during the day.
